The Shorter Westminster Confession of Faith, Pilgrim’s Progress and the Heidelberg Catechism are being converted into an electronic format so that they can be loaded onto smart phones and other audible devices.

In areas that have no Christian Schools, there is a great need to transmit basic Biblical values and educate children from the Bible and provide supporting Reformed literature. The Bible and Pilgrim’s Progress will be used as the main resources. We will supply a copy of the Pilgrim’s Progress for children and other Vacation Bible School resource materials.

There is a great need for Puritan Reformed Experiential instruction by the growing churches in China. Bonisa has an opportunity to provide training for professors. The churches have grown rapidly but need to be grounded more deeply in the truth.

Instruction of church leaders is required. Some of the theological students come from very poor areas and cannot be financially supported by their small/poor churches. Bonisa will cover the costs of food for 15 needy students.

The churches have a strong connection to the Puritans. A dedicated bookshelf is set up in the seminary library to show a visible relationship of the seminary to the Puritan teachings. The aim is to have as many Puritan resources as possible, thereby establishing a sound Reformed foundation. Students need these books in English in preparation to further their studies.

Bible Doctrine for Teens and Young Adults: Volumes I, II and III are to being translated into Mandarin and then published to be used for Bible doctrine instruction for Christian school teacher training, teacher training college courses, high school instruction, as well as pastor, seminary, and church catechetical and adult instruction.

The churches have grown rapidly but need to be grounded more deeply in the truth. An efficient way is to provide translated Christian literature with a focus on Reformed Christian teaching and training. Books from various publishers will be supplied to individual churches.

Instructors have been requested by the seminary and the college to teach courses to expound the Reformed Doctrine to the theological students, Christian school teachers and church leaders. Bonisa will cover some of the costs involved.

There is a need to provide Christian School education for the local Reformed churches. Three years ago the Reformed School was started. Due to increased enrollment, a larger facility was acquired in the fall of 2015. The local churches have experienced steady growth and have financed most of their costs. Bonisa will help with this new schoolhouse.

This project aims to forward the China Christian school development work through providing resources for and work with development of curriculum, policies, teacher training and school review committees to further the work.

Children, with cerebral palsy, living in the remote mountain areas do not have ready access to proper therapy. This results in limbs becoming contracted so that therapy later in life is much more limited in what it can achieve. Stroke victims also require therapy treatment. The project will finance the wages of the staff and provide for the medical care and needs of patients and orphans in the Shangri-la physical therapy centre. This work is done out of a Christian perspective.

The underprivileged people living in the remote countryside lack medical help and services. The medical care work provides free medical care to about 3000 needy people in the Shangri-la County region annually. The project will finance the costs of about 10 major surgeries and 20 hospitalizations per year. Approximately 10 times per year the remote locations (nomad areas, convents, monasteries, villages and townships in Western Sichuan and Northwestern Yunnan) are visited. The goal is to provide immediate medical relief for the needy patients and give a message of hope to motivate village people throughout the region.

Children living in the remote mountain areas do not have ready access to schools. The project will provide fruit to 45 children that attend the homework classes in the evenings. The 40 children that attend the morning teaching program receive water and vitamins. By providing fruit and vitamins to the children the previous special medical project from which the doctor's expenses were paid for these children, has been reduced to zero.
